Introduction Conspiracy theories complicating public reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic inspired quantitative research on conspiracy theories, mostly using survey-based, correlational designs. Data from similar studies may, however, be unreliable due low temporal stability (Graham, 2021). Objectives We examine of a popular survey measure beliefs (CCBs). Methods CCBs were measured by set items de...

Non-autistic relatives of people with autistic disorder have an increased risk of social and communicative difficulties: this is known as the "broad phenotype." Better methods for characterizing the broad phenotype are needed to facilitate identification of risk genes for autism. 29 siblings of 20 children with autistic disorder, 13 siblings of 9 children with PDDNOS, and 46 typically developin...

The target costing technique, mathematically discussed by Sauers, only uses the p C index along with Taguchi loss function and X -R control charts to setup goal control limits. The new specification limits derived from Taguchi loss function is linked through the p C value to X -R control charts to obtain goal control limits. In this study, the target costing technique is exploited by further co...

chlormequat (cycocel or ccc), the plant growth retardant, was evaluated for its ability to control plant height in brassica oleracea cultivar ‘kamome white’ and ‘nagoya red’. different concentrations of ccc (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/l) were sprayed and drenched on plants 40 days after transplanting. data were recorded the 60 and 90 days after transplanting. the 1500 mg/l of ccc resulted in abou...

The Children's Communication Checklist-2 (CCC-2) is often applied to assess pragmatic language impairment which highly prevalent in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and several mental health conditions. We replicated previous findings on the limited applicability of CCC-2 clinical samples inconsistent concerning factor structure. aim present study was, thus, develop a concise, simplified, revised...

A methodology is described for the validation of Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI) data over heterogeneous land surfaces in an agricultural region in Southern Italy. The approach involves the use inverse canopy reflectance modeling techniques to derive maps of canopy chlorophyll content (CCC) and leaf area index (LAI) at fine spatial resolution....

This paper proposes three synthetic-type control charts to monitor the mean time-between-events of a homogenous Poisson process. The first proposed chart combines an Erlang (cumulative time between events, Tr ) chart and a conforming run length (CRL) chart, denoted as Synth-Tr chart. The second proposed chart combines an exponential (or T) chart and a group conforming run length (GCRL) chart, d...

The consequences of photoexcitation of a platinum diimine bisacetylide complex and its triads with phenothiazine species (McGarrah, J. E.; Eisenberg, R. Inorg. Chem. 2003, 42, 4355-4365) were investigated by the photoinduced transient displacement current (PTDC) method, with the aim of understanding the role of solvent in defining the nature and extent of intratriad electron transfer. PTDC enab...
